Best time to visit Bogachiel State Park
Late June through early September offers the driest, warmest weather on the west side of the Olympic Peninsula, with long daylight hours and reliable highway access. July and August bring the best trail conditions for the nearby Bogachiel and Hoh rainforest hikes, though Olympic National Park campgrounds fill quickly in peak summer. Shoulder months of May, September, and early October are excellent for RV travel, with fewer crowds and active steelhead and salmon runs, but pack rain gear year-round. Winters are mild but very wet, and lowland rainforest trails can flood.

Things to do at Bogachiel State Park
- Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail Easy
The Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail is a mostly level path through old-growth rainforest that begins from a trailhead accessed via Undi Road, directly opposite the state park. This dog and family friendly trail travels through old-growth spruce, cedar and hemlock with hanging mosses and a floor of ferns, with the Bogachiel River accessible at several points before the trail reaches Olympic National Park at 1.6 miles (no dogs are allowed in the Park). Trailhead parking is ample, though the access road is rough. fs.usda.gov/r06/olympic/recreation/trails/bogachiel-rain-forest-trail-825
- Ira Spring Wetland Loop Easy
The Ira Spring Wetland Loop is a short puncheon boardwalk route that branches off the Bogachiel Rain Forest Trail to explore wetland ecosystems. There is a 3 mile wetland loop option via the Ira Spring Wetland Trail, a puncheon route that overlooks wetlands and rejoins the main trail in 1.4 miles. Good choice for a rainy-day walk. fs.usda.gov/r06/olympic/recreation/trails/bogachiel-rain-forest-trail-825
- Bogachiel River FishingRV parking available
The Bogachiel River is known for seasonal salmon and steelhead runs accessible right from the state park's riverbank. Seasons and closures change, so check Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife regulations. Recreational fishing closures have been implemented in cooperation with Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to protect wild steelhead. wdfw.wa.gov
- Hoh Rain Forest Day Trip EasyRV parking available
The Hoh Rain Forest visitor center and Hall of Mosses Trail in Olympic National Park are a scenic day trip south of Bogachiel. Drive Highway 101 south and turn east onto the Upper Hoh Road, allowing extra time for the winding approach. Summer parking at the visitor center fills early, so plan to arrive before mid-morning. nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/visiting-the-hoh.htm
- Rialto Beach and La Push Coast EasyRV parking available
Rialto Beach and nearby First and Second Beach at La Push offer dramatic Pacific coastline with sea stacks and driftwood, about a 30 to 40 minute drive from the park. The Hole-in-the-Wall hike from Rialto is a popular low-tide walk of roughly 3.3 miles round trip. RV parking is available at the main Rialto lot but can be tight in summer. nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/visiting-rialto-beach.htm
- Sol Duc Valley and Hot Springs ModerateRV parking available
The Sol Duc area of Olympic National Park offers rainforest hikes, the Sol Duc Falls Trail, and developed hot-spring pools about an hour's drive northeast. Trails in the valley connect to longer routes eventually reaching the Seven Lakes Basin and Sol Duc Hot Springs. Expect a winding park road with length restrictions for the largest rigs. nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/visiting-sol-duc-valley.htm
- Forks Town and Timber MuseumRV parking available
The town of Forks sits just north of the park and offers groceries, fuel, and the Forks Timber Museum covering the region's logging heritage. It is a convenient resupply stop before heading deeper into the peninsula. Large pull-through parking is available at most highway-side services. forkswa.com

How to get to Bogachiel State Park
The park is on U.S. Highway 101 about 6 miles south of Forks, Washington, roughly a 3.5 to 4 hour drive from Seattle via the Bainbridge Island ferry and Highway 101 around the north side of the Olympic Peninsula. Port Angeles is about 60 miles northeast (around 1.5 hours), and Aberdeen is about 105 miles south. RVers should note that Highway 101 is winding with narrow shoulders and occasional steep grades through the Olympic foothills, and some side roads, including Undi Road to the Bogachiel trailhead, are primitive and not suitable for larger rigs. From the main highway, the Forest Service advises that Undi Road becomes a primitive road where all-wheel or four-wheel drive is best. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent trips is Seattle-Tacoma International (SEA).
